The Tin Woodman came to her and said: "Truly I should be ungrateful if I failed to mourn for the man who gave me my lovely heart. I should like to cry a little because Oz is gone, if you will kindly wipe away my tears, so that I shall not rust."

Then the Tin Woodman wept for several minutes, and she watched the tears carefully and wiped them away with the towel. When he had finished, he thanked her kindly and oiled himself thoroughly with his jeweled oil-can, to guard against mishap.

The Scarecrow was now the ruler of the Emerald City, and although he was not a Wizard the people were proud of him. "For," they said, "there is not another city in all the world that is ruled by a stuffed man. "And, so far as they knew, they were quite right.

Dorothy wept bitterly at the passing of her hope to get home to Kansas again; but when she thought it all over she was glad she had not gone up in a balloon. And she also felt sorry at losing Oz, and so did her companions.
查看中文翻译
"With pleasure," she answered, and brought a towel at once.

The morning after the balloon had gone up with Oz, the four travelers met in the Throne Room and talked matters over.
查看中文翻译
The Scarecrow sat in the big throne and the others stood respectfully before him.
查看中文翻译
When I remember that a short time ago I was up on a pole in a farmer's cornfield, and that now I am the ruler of this beautiful City, I am quite satisfied with my lot."
查看中文翻译
"I also," said the Tin Woodman, "am well-pleased with my new heart; and, really, that was the only thing I wished in all the world."
查看中文翻译
"We are not so unlucky," said the new ruler, "for this Palace and the Emerald City belong to us, and we can do just as we please.
查看中文翻译
"For my part, I am content in knowing I am as brave as any beast that ever lived, if not braver," said the Lion modestly.
查看中文翻译
"If Dorothy would only be contented to live in the Emerald City," continued the Scarecrow, "we might all be happy together."
查看中文翻译
"But I don't want to live here," cried Dorothy. "I want to go to Kansas, and live with Aunt Em and Uncle Henry."
查看中文翻译
"Well, then, what can be done?" inquired the Woodman.

The Scarecrow decided to think, and he thought so hard that the pins and needles began to stick out of his brains. Finally he said: "Why not call the Winged Monkeys, and ask them to carry you over the desert?"
查看中文翻译
"This is the second time you have called us," said the Monkey King, bowing before the little girl. "What do you wish?"
查看中文翻译
"I never thought of that!" said Dorothy joyfully. "It's just the thing. I'll go at once for the Golden Cap." When she brought it into the Throne Room she spoke the magic words, and soon the band of Winged Monkeys flew in through the open window and stood beside her.
查看中文翻译
"I want you to fly with me to Kansas," said Dorothy.
查看中文翻译
"That cannot be done," he said. "We belong to this country alone, and cannot leave it. There has never been a Winged Monkey in Kansas yet, and I suppose there never will be, for they don't belong there. We shall be glad to serve you in any way in our power, but we cannot cross the desert. Good-bye."
查看中文翻译
But the Monkey King shook his head.
查看中文翻译
And with another bow, the Monkey King spread his wings and flew away through the window, followed by all his band.

"It is certainly too bad!" said the tender-hearted Woodman.
查看中文翻译
"Is there no one who can help me?" asked Dorothy earnestly.
查看中文翻译
The Scarecrow was thinking again, and his head bulged out so horribly that Dorothy feared it would burst.
查看中文翻译
"Let us call in the soldier with the green whiskers," he said, "and ask his advice." So the soldier was summoned and entered the Throne Room timidly, for while Oz was alive he never was allowed to come farther than the door.
查看中文翻译
Dorothy was ready to cry with disappointment. "I have wasted the charm of the Golden Cap to no purpose," she said, "for the Winged Monkeys cannot help me."
查看中文翻译
"This little girl," said the Scarecrow to the soldier, "wishes to cross the desert. How can she do so?"
查看中文翻译
"I cannot tell," answered the soldier, "for nobody has ever crossed the desert, unless it is Oz himself."
查看中文翻译
"Glinda might," he suggested.
查看中文翻译
"The Witch of the South. She is the most powerful of all the Witches, and rules over the Quadlings. Besides, her castle stands on the edge of the desert, so she may know a way to cross it."
查看中文翻译
"Who is Glinda?" inquired the Scarecrow.

"The Quadlings think she is good," said the soldier, "and she is kind to everyone. I have heard that Glinda is a beautiful woman, who knows how to keep young in spite of the many years she has lived."
查看中文翻译
"How can I get to her castle?" asked Dorothy.
查看中文翻译
"Glinda is a Good Witch, isn't she?" asked the child.
查看中文翻译
"The road is straight to the South," he answered, "but it is said to be full of dangers to travelers. There are wild beasts in the woods, and a race of queer men who do not like strangers to cross their country. For this reason none of the Quadlings ever come to the Emerald City." The soldier then left them.
查看中文翻译
"You must have been thinking again," remarked the Tin Woodman.
查看中文翻译
And the Scarecrow said: "It seems, in spite of dangers, that the best thing Dorothy can do is to travel to the Land of the South and ask Glinda to help her. For, of course, if Dorothy stays here she will never get back to Kansas."
查看中文翻译
"I shall go with Dorothy," declared the Lion, "for I am tired of your city and long for the woods and the country again. I am really a wild beast, you know. Besides, Dorothy will need someone to protect her."
查看中文翻译
"I have," said the Scarecrow.

"When shall we start?" asked the Scarecrow.
查看中文翻译
"Are you going?" they asked, in surprise.
查看中文翻译
"Thank you," said Dorothy gratefully. "You are all very kind to me. But I should like to start as soon as possible."
查看中文翻译
"That is true," agreed the Woodman. "My axe may be of service to her; so I also will go with her to the Land of the South."
查看中文翻译
"Certainly. If it wasn't for Dorothy I should never have had brains. She lifted me from the pole in the cornfield and brought me to the Emerald City. So my good luck is all due to her, and I shall never leave her until she starts back to Kansas for good and all."
查看中文翻译
"We shall go tomorrow morning," returned the Scarecrow. "So now let us all get ready, for it will be a long journey."
